Al-Nassr fell on penalties (3-5) in front of Persepolis, after a draw in the original and extra time (1-1), in the semi-finals of the AFC Champions League.
Al-Riyadiah newspaper quoted a source describing it as official, today, Monday, that the management of Al-Nasr Club will hand over the AFC this evening the protest note, which was registered against the Persepolis management, under the pretext that some of the Iranian team’s players participating in the AFC Champions League are not eligible.
And Al-Nassr documented in his protest that FIFA prevented the Iranian team from registering players for non-payment of the dues of the former Persepolis coach Branco. The club attached the evidence to this in the file sent to the Asian side, to address FIFA and verify it. And the protest ensured that the specific period in which the players are registered is considered to be a period of deprivation.
And Persepolis, in the deadline before the start of the implementation of the penalty, recorded each of “Hamid Lak, Arman Ramadani, Issa Al-lot, Ihssan Bahlawan, Saeed Aghaei, Milad Sarlak, and Ali Shujaei.
On the other hand, Iranian reports revealed that Persepolis relied on granting him a 30-day period, after they received the “FIFA” letter to register the aforementioned players, and that the binding decision issued by the Disciplinary Committee of the International Football Association was not issued until September 15th.
Ayman Al-Rifai, former chairman of the Discipline and Ethics Committee of the Saudi Football Association, said in televised statements on Sunday that Persepolis and the AFC had violated regulations.
Al-Rifai said: “What I have is two hypotheses, the first indicating that the Iranian club violated the regulations and the decision to ban (FIFA), thus applying the ban decision and Article 30 of the Asian regulation, and Article 56 imposing a fine on him, and withdraws the result from him and considers him a loser of the match with a result. (0-3) According to Article 20 of the Asian regulations, the AFC violated the regulations. ”
He added: “The second hypothesis has 3 possibilities. The first is that the club scored the players correctly, either before the ban, or that it has already paid the sums for which it was punished, and thus this decision is considered final.”
He continued: “The second is that Persepolis gets a decision from a higher judicial authority, whether the appeal or the Cass Court, to cancel this decision, and thus his registration of the players is considered correct, and the third possibility, and here there may be doubts, if the AFC excluded Persepolis from this judicial decision, which is not entitled He has an exception. Everyone knows that a judicial ruling is not annulled and excluded except by a ruling from a higher judicial authority. ”
He stressed: “If the AFC excepted this club to register, due to the circumstances of Corona, or the exceptional regulation, then in this case it violated the regulations, and it was the first to exclude the clubs that were clearly affected by the pandemic, and prevented them from participating.”
He stressed: “The victory protest is sound according to the international system and law of FIFA, and the Iranian team violated the regulations.”
Mahdi Taj
For his part, Iranian Mahdi Taj, vice president of the AFC, said the protest note was misplaced.
Taj explained, through his account on “Instagram”: “As a vice president of the AFC, I have reviewed the protest memorandum presented by the Saudi victory against Persepolis.”
He continued: “Despite the efforts of some, the memorandum does not constitute a threat to Persepolis in the Asian Championship … the protest of the Saudi club is totally misplaced.”
